Museums, Parks, And History: Great Falls Has It All

Great Falls is nicknamed "Museum Capital of Montana" due to the number of museums located here.

The biggest one being the C.M. Russell Museum, which highlights the life of Charlie Russell and his time in Great Falls.

We've also got the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, which allows you to learn about the Lewis and Clark expedition, highlighting their trip and the impact it made on our region.
